The Penn Jewish Alumni Network (PJAN) cultivates alumni communities, encourages networking, and provides a venue for young alumni to connect to Jewish life on campus. Past events have included a Tu B’Av party, Ivy League happy hours, Shabbat dinners, and special guest speaker events. We also host alumni gatherings at Steinhardt Hall during Homecoming and Alumni Weekends.
